How far out are they from Korea right now. ?
To: Col Frank Slade
They were still in port in Norfolk last I knew. They just returned from the Middle East in January.

If they send 7 carrier groups, they are serious.

If they send 7 carrier groups that will be more naval firepower than has ever been assembled anywhere.

In 1945 we had over 100 aircraft carriers of various types. Even Canada had them.

AND the USS Ronald Reagan is homeported in Yokosuka.
She could be under weigh in two days.

I will suspect the worst if one group parks in the Sea of Japan, and the other in the Yellow Sea, on either side of Korea. This would complete an anti ballistic missile umbrella for both China and South Korea.
Both groups had better have intensive antisub operations, because fat boy has already sunk one ship, the ROKS Cheonan.
And we still owe them some major payback for that.
Important note: As of 2016, the ROK Navy has about 70,000 regular personnel including 29,000 Republic of Korea Marines. In addition, there are about 160 commissioned ships in service with the ROK Navy, including about 10 submarines, 110 surface combatants and patrol vessels, 10 amphibious warfare ships, 10 mine warfare ships, and 20 auxiliary ships.
And it is highly likely that the Japanese navy will be keeping a close eye on things as well. As well as the Russians.

Not by Sat which is when NOKPO plans to celebrate with a nuke in a tunnel. Lil’ Kimmy is doing the suicide by nuke bit ... China in the rear and US in the front. Now NOKOP after dark will be all lit up and aglow.

Google drives me nuts, when I try to enter data for a new search that is somewhat different than previous searches.
Their auto INcorrect takes over and I can’t post what I want to search. (All searches have the same problem)
So now I enter/key in the search question/statement on a Google Document. Then, I copy or cut what I want from the google doc and paste it in as the search.
Thanks for saving an old Swabbie.

Couldn’t miss a chance, I’m an old Swabbie myself.
